One of the Most Acclaimed Espionage Novels Ever Written… And Also One of the Funniest.

It’s the mid-1980s and the cold war hasn’t thawed. The Library, a super-secret U.S. espionage agency is keeping an eye on the Russians and everybody else. A dozen elite intelligence experts relentlessly sift out classified information from everywhere. They know all the secrets except for one – which of the librarians is a traitor. It’s up to Walt Coolidge, a librarian with a Sherlockian gift for analyzing people’s garbage, to uncover the mole and, if he fails, it could lead to nuclear Armageddon.

Dunn’s Conundrum

One of the most acclaimed spy novels ever written...and also one of the funniest. It's the 1980s and an elite, NSA-esque spy organization is watching everything. But there's a traitor in their midst. Walter Coolidge, an expert in analyzing garbage, is assigned the impossible task of uncovering the mole and, perhaps, saving the world.

The God Project

The government has lost a multi-billion dollar secret weapon and the President assigns a very special operative to retrieve it: Malcolm Keyes, a political speech writer who perfectly remembers everything he sees or hears. The unforgettable, utterly original political thriller that revealed the intrigue and insanity of Washington as nobody ever had before.

Underground Reading

Dunn’s Conundrum5.0

Tough, funny, quirky, bawdy, suspenseful. I defy any reader to guess where this story is going, guess how it is going to get there, or put it down before it gets there. The writing is smooth and professional, the observations of human foibles mature and often very funny. I predict a long, hearty life for this novel and for practically anything this man cares to write

Publisher's Weekly

Dunn’s Conundrum5.0

There are no snarling villains in "Dunn's Conundrum," a book that administers charm and dismay in beautifully balanced proportions...a funny and original book that manages to combine spy intrigue, Armageddon thriller, impassioned plea against doomsday technology, and a dryly absurdist parody of our pre-nuclear plight

Crisp and witty, his well-thought plot moves his characters to matters of more importance than treason, death and The End of Civilization As We Know It. Surprisingly enough, Dunn's Conundrum is a book about being human

Dunn's Conundrum is a tangled, blackly comedic thriller about espionage and the dangers of information... An academic hero, debates about information culture, political prescience and tongue-in-cheek humor - this ticked all the right boxes, and did so in a stylish, goofy, wonderful way. A real find.
